You want too add interest, and intrigue, conduct it in front of the viewing public.<br /><br />Unlike most, including, but not limited to experts, and local media professionals, I'm not as high on Irving. This is not too say talent I wise, perceived upside included, he isn't the consensus #1 overall prospect, but is he what's most needed in Cleveland?<br /><br />I say no... The Cav's aren't as weak at the position, as when Mo Williams was the starter, post LeBron James. Williams (AZ), is my first choice as well. I think what the Cav's need most is an athletic scorer from the wing, at SF. This past season, as disappointing as it was, afforded the Cav's the opportunity to see different players, play meaningful minutes.<br /><br />What was most troubling about the Cav's, is that Scott played guys out of position continuously, all season. It was hard to truly guage what guys could do, if they were utilized in positions of strength. Eyenga, in my opinion, is a natural SG, he needs to improve his shooting, and range. It made absolutely no sense, playing Hickson at C, and Jamison at PF, when he was playing elbow out on the floor. Hickson was much more efficient, and effective, when at PF, and Hollins at C, also playing elbow down on the floor.<br /><br />Williams (AZ), has the size, and athleticism to transition too SF, he can get to the basket from the perimeter, plays under control in crowded spaces, and strong enough too post up on the blocks. I like his range on the perimeter. If I'm looking to get back into the lottery, or to gain future picks, I move Varejao, while he still has limited, perbeived value. Samuels plays bigger, and with time, and opportunity can match the production of Varejao.<br /><br />For all things Cavalier's, and NBA basketball, follow me on twitter @CLECavsOutsiderKeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323299057569934964noreply@blogger.com
